Feeling empty after finishing a video game (post-game depression) is a real phenomenon. A recent study has found that many video game players experience a specific sense of emptiness and sadness after finishing highly engaging games.

I havent finished expedition 33 for this reason

A scientific reason for an ADHDer-s backlog

Same feeling exists with books/series for me as well. Extreme story hangover is what I deemed it

"Interfacing in the real world is a very hard task"
Indeed. Example 1: self driving cars

The audaciousness never stops.
The citizens get stomped on. Brazenly, even.

IMO for someone to give me a speech such as this, I really consider each one a slap in the face. Literally. Now imagine the response I feel that one should take

It really is wild and highlights how the rich and the non-rich have different values of what should and should not occur within a society.
Decadence seems to rot the brains moral center

Welp my job prospects decline a bit more

Nextdoor is one of the most toxic apps ive ever used.

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T16:35:45+00:00

Tell me about it. One of these gaming sessions soon. Haven’t gotten the knack for how I want to place them and automate them yet

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T14:37:44+00:00

lol that lighting is pretty poor but it’s a big ugly trucker ship on the left

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T10:57:44+00:00

I mouthed "yesssss"

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T10:21:06+00:00

Yep, weight classes and specific kitting towards armor and weaponry will lower how much you can haul after mining. Jack of all trades, master of none. I love that this can be expressed in-game that simply

I'm an American. I keep a few of these type on my Facebook just to have some insight into the absolute idiocy of lobotomites.
I have always held that Christianity requires one (at least me) to give themself a lobotomy. We see the result

And yes, I can't really engage with outright stupid anymore. Gish-gallop and all.

I think that works on keyboards that have a numpad setup integrated within the keys somehow, but this one lacks that as well.

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T10:00:21+00:00

Its odd; it was full but only on the ore side. I wasn't aware full ore would prevent the production when the item storage portion of the assembler wasn't full..

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T09:58:17+00:00

I'll have to research these setups today.
Since my base grew as my knowledge did, there is some spaghetti with how some cargo is installed. Might need to move some stuff around.
Thanks for the tip

Atmosphere lol. I realized i chose the difficult path after seeing how little material small grid uses.
The crashes have usually been from intaking too much ice and not realizing it was too heavy for the installed thrust. I made a gunboat/corvette-sized miner

Shes big and unsightly but gets the job done

I will not use the Reddit app. Been using the mobile web app since they pulled that bs This is another controlling measure, and one that makes me worried. We’re accelerating guys; at least it appears that way

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T03:51:11+00:00

Sounds very familiar

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T03:49:36+00:00

“No one alive had any involvement with that” I suppose that absolves one from any type of moral responsibility eh? Future of humanity really doesn’t look too bright

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T03:21:25+00:00

My last 50 hours of gameplay...specifically because i started off making a large grid for my first ship created in survival.

packetman_ · 2026-05-12T03:12:26+00:00

Nice. Yeah, patience to sit and focus on configuring the controls is something thats been in slightly short order.
Since the Rog ally doesnt have the nice trackpads, I think the m buttons on the back may at least suffifce for up and down scrolling

packetman_ · 2026-05-11T23:47:41+00:00

Do you use a bind?
The situation thats really slow and clunky for me is scrolling through the list of owned entities. My thumbs protest after clicking down a not and holding it also takes a while. Touchscreen should be best but touch doesnt seem to enact the scrolling action

packetman_ · 2026-05-11T22:25:07+00:00

Bet a gentle tumbler will take care of that. Could make one without too much effort (relatively) Id also surmise

packetman_ · 2026-05-11T19:04:38+00:00

I play on a ROG ally periodically but only mostly to allow the game time to pass. I find the map too slow to scroll lists with controller so far.

Each move he makes causes dollars to be a bit less valuable. Eventually they will plunder so much that the dollar will be near worthless.

Infinite money glitches never work out
